(Original )Information
What do you like best about Phusion Passenger?

The module has included an option for most of the webservers I have used to date, and the ease of installing, configuring, and getting started is something I liked about it. Digging into further details the performance of web servers combined with Phusion passenger has been brilliant.

Most of the cloud-based SAAS tools I manage are built with scripting languages, and the web servers are Nginx or Apache. I usually go with Phusion Passenger and have been using this module for over a decade.

The technologies are getting updated and I did not face any issues with the Phusion passenger. It is a well-maintained module. Never has issues with security, reliability, and scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phusion Passenger?

Haven't used this with the latest app servers, and sometimes the errors are encountered during installation and configuration with app environments.

In some instances where I would wish to include this module in both Nginx & Apache, there were some issues on the server-side. In case of changing the web server, there isn't a way to uninstall the passenger module. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Phusion Passenger:

If you are building an application using technologies like Ruby on Rails etc, Phusion Passenger would be the best app server to have with the best support for both Apache & Nginx Servers.

Installation, configuration, and maintaining this with your web servers would be very easy, I have used this on most Linux servers based on Ubuntu, CentOS and it works like a charm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Phusion Passenger solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems solved:

Getting my webservers to work with various app environments with Phusion Passenger

For most of the applications I have hosted on cloud servers no matter front end and backend, I could easily configure Phusion passenger with Nginx and Apache to serve

Benefits:

Ease of managing the environment

Scaling the server was easy with Phusion Passenger in place

Log tracing on the webserver was detailed for a developer who uses this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Phusion Passenger?

* Fast robust, secure and lightweight server.

* Best suited for Rails applications.

* Easy to maintain and manage with Nginx. For me it's best that it has Nginx integrations.

* No extra settings and maintenance required specially for Phusion Passenger.

* It's free to use with Nginx, only extended feature requires pro / paid versions.

* It's highly scalable

* It is based on Out-of-process architecture that is really great for Rails applications.

* It's also having integrations with apache.

* It is having Asynchronous I/O, it helps to increase speed.

What problems is Phusion Passenger solving and how is that benefiting you?

In early days we were using Unicorn for our Rails applications, We found memory leaks and other issues with it, Then shifted to puma, Puma is a good server but still was facing a lot of issues like, High memory and have to manage service separately for puma.

As Traffic goes higher, finally we shifted to Phusion Passenger, It's save our life, now we have lesser memory and high throughput. We don't have to manage separate service for Phusion Passenger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Phusion Passenger?

Phusion makes it trivial to run Ruby or python apps on top of Apache or Nginx.

Setup is very simple, has a simple to follow wizard and you should be able to be up and running in no time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phusion Passenger?

Some default configurations are weird, like default concurrency, caching, gzip and etags. I mean, they work but it is highly like you wanna fiddle with them which, to me, means they have poor default values.

Still, docs make it easy to configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
